As part of its commitment to supporting local professionals and advancing industry expertise in energy efficiency and clean energy, Frederick University and its Training and Examination Center offer specialised workshops for the industry, focused on topics such as Energy Efficiency of Buildings, Energy Auditing and Solar Photovoltaic System Installation.

These well-established training programs are developed by Frederick University academic staff and offered three to four times per year at a subsidized rate for local professionals. The programs are led by recognized experts and academics with extensive experience in energy efficiency and clean energy.

By cultivating a skilled workforce to enhance energy efficiency in buildings, develop energy auditing expertise and boost solar energy adoption, these programs support sustainable energy transitions, fostering reliable and clean energy for all.

Energy Efficiency of Buildings

This program is tailored for architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, and environmental engineers, equipping them with the skills needed to issue Building Energy Efficiency Certificates in compliance with current legislation. Upon program completion, participants can take exams to join the registry of qualified experts authorized to issue these certificates.

The training provides essential knowledge of Cypriot energy efficiency legislation, building materials, technical systems, heating and cooling load calculations, and the National Methodology for Energy Efficiency Calculation. Participants will also gain experience in conducting on-site energy audits, using approved software (e.g., iSBEM) for certification, and making actionable recommendations for improving building energy efficiency.

The program is subsidized by the Human Resource Development Authority (AnAD) for employees of companies and organizations, as well as for unemployed individuals. Hybrid workshops totaling 30 hours will be held from November 10 to November 29, 2025, combining online and in-person sessions.

Energy Auditors

The program is designed for engineers who wish to qualify as energy auditors and equips them with the knowledge and practical skills required to conduct energy audits in buildings, assess energy consumption and losses, and identify and prioritise measures to improve energy efficiency. Participants gain expertise in energy measurements, the evaluation of energy-saving potential and associated costs, the implementation of corrective measures, and the application of relevant national legislation and energy management standards. Upon completion, participants acquire the necessary knowledge and qualifications to pursue registration in the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry’s Register of Energy Auditors, subject to the applicable requirements. The program will be held from January 16 to March 22, 2025. It is offered at a subsidised rate for eligible employees of companies and organisations and unemployed individuals through the Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus (AnAD), supporting the development of skilled professionals who can improve building energy performance, reduce energy consumption and contribute to a more sustainable energy system.

Solar Photovoltaic System Installation

This program aligns with European Directive 2009/28/EC and Regulation K.D.P. 374/2015, and is certified by the Ministry of Energy, Commerce, and Industry (MECI). Program attendance and successful exam completion are mandatory for installers wishing to join MECI’s official Register of Photovoltaic System Installers.

Aimed at employees of businesses and organizations, particularly electrical engineers and technicians involved in energy planning and PV system installations, this training equips participants with skills in designing, installing, and troubleshooting PV systems. They will learn to select optimal equipment and placement, as well as to apply relevant health, safety, and regulatory standards in PV installation and maintenance.

Hybrid workshops totaling 45 hours will take place from July 7 to July 21, 2025, with both online and in-person sessions.
